debian-qt-kde is currently uploading the first parts of KDE 4.11 to unstable. While it should be rather eventless (compared to KDE 4.8 --> KDE 4.10 before), it is suggested to err on the side of caution and be careful with dist-upgrades at the moment (ideally avoid it alltogether for the next 4-5 days).

First I am happy, for getting of KDe 4.11!

What is the reason for early upload of KDE 4.11 to unstable?

I assumed that, KDE 4.11.5 will be uploaded, but not earlier correction versions.

The KDE 4.11.3 upload should now be almost complete, pending some binNMUs for kde-style and plasma-widget packages. While there my be successive uploads for some leaf components, the majority of packages is now available.

Did a complete DU this morning, KDE 4.11.3, really nothing traumatic at this end, went very smoothly.
no complaints or problems after some hours of use.

After DU I can't mount cd in dolphin. the notifier shows "removable media of O byte". The problem is partially solved if I launch K3b, then i can access to properly mounted medias in Dolphin.
Running AMD64 KDE. I have both udisks and udisks2 installed. Automatic mounting is enabled in notifier.

I'll wait until the problems with removed and kept back packages are solved:

I double checked what Phileom said about CD's and DVD's as well.
its true, Auto detection seems to be non functional...
Both K3b and Kaffeine can see and utilize the discs.. but auto detection and any notification of the presence of a disc in the drawer is not present... function is OK and sound works, just not detection. Dolphin sees the disc only after it is available by K3b and Kaffeine.
My bad for not seeing it earlier.
Note: The device notifier sees it once mounted with Kaffeine Or K3b, kind of after the fact device notifier. Further testing reveals that the device notifier is activated by the application K3b and not by Kaffeine, Kaffeine can not detect DVD without first launching K3b. Device notifier can eject CD or DVD once it has its presence by K3b detection. but can not detect it once DVD or CD is ejected and reinserted by closing the drawer with CD or DVD inserted. Only K3b generates a detection as far as I can tell.

I just did an dist-upgrade and now I do not have a window manager in KDE any longer. That means:

- Windows do not have the standard top-bar any more with close/maximize/minimize buttons and the possibility to move them or change their size.

- All the menus of a program do not work

- I cannot change between windows (eg with ALT + TAB)

- Dropdown menus in a webpage with iceweasel do not work

There are much more things that make KDE unusable. In the systemsettings the option to change the window style and manager misses completely.

What do I have to do to get the window management back?

Maybe I also have to say: I changed the window manager in the systemsetting because I liked the look of another one better. I cannot remember to what I canged it.

At the dist-upgrade there were some packages shown that were to be removed. I looked into this forum to see if the upgrade was save. This thread told me it is so I did it.

Maybe just some basic questions:

- Is it possible to reverse a dist-upgrade?

- Is there an apt logfile to see what has when been updated/installed/removed?

Yes, in /var/log/apt you should find everything you want, probably just in the history.log

I waited until yesterday before a big D-U. Can confirm what others have said about the detection of CD/DVD not working. You are aslo left with a phantom "0 MB Removeable device" in Dolphin and the notifier. Is this a result of udisks2 being installed, rather than a KDE bug?
